For your 2018 Ford F-150 with 275/55 R20 tires, I recommend the Titan Chain Tire Chains item # TC2533. These are heavy duty square-link tire chains that will give you traction on both snow and ice. They have a simple installation process with integrated tensioners that let you easily control the fit.
I have linked an installation video below we did on a 2018 F-150 we had in the shop awhile back. These chains are sold in pairs. view full answer...
Yes, they will! The Konig Tire Chains item # TH01221104 are confirmed to fit the 225/60-R17 tires on the 2019 Subaru Crosstrek. These chains are great for heavy snow and light ice. The dual-sided D-shape links allow for increased traction. They also come with built-in tensioners that allow you to easily control the tightness of the chains to your tires.
An added perk that along with the chains, you get a storage container, a kneeling mat, and gloves. I have linked an installation video... view full answer...
The weight of your F-350 with its slide-in truck camper is not in itself an issue for tire chains so long as you avoid driving on bare or nearly-bare pavement. The truck's weight will work to your advantage in that it will help the chains dig in to hard packed snow and ice, but driving them on pavement will increase wear.
Generally for heavy-duty truck applications we like to recommend square link chains like the Pewag All Square set # PWE3210SC because they are more durable. These chains... view full answer...
The Titan Chain Tire Chains # TC3229CAM that you referenced weighs about 39 pounds for the set (both chains) while the Titan Cable Chains # TC3029 weigh just 13 pounds for the set. This significant difference is due to the more heavy-duty nature of steel round link chains vs cable rollers.
Lighter cable chains are a good option for temporary use but they aren't going to hold up to more frequent applications and are less effective in snow and ice compared to traditional chains. Both options... view full answer...
I contacted the manufacturer about the length of the Replacement Cam Tightener for Titan Chain Heavy Truck Snow Tire Chains # TCCAM3HD while opened and closed.
They said the # TCCAM3HD is sold with two links, one on each end. So the overall measurement including the links is 7” open and 6” closed.
The # TCCAM3HD is intended to be used with Titan Chain tire chains that have 0.312" (8 mm) thick side chain links. view full answer...
The Cam Tightening Tool # PW204 is designed to fit the cams on Pewag and Glacier brand heavy truck tire chains. The tool is made from bent bar stock. I went to our warehouse and measured it for you. The cam tool has a cross section of 1/4-inch x 7/8-inch.
We do not sell the Quick Grip brand so I checked the specs for a number of their tire chains that use cams, but the cam's dimensions are not provided. view full answer...
Yes, we do have tire chains that will fit a 37x12.50xR-17 tire size. I have listed the three options of different styles below:
Ladder Pattern - Square Link - item # TC3235SCAM
Ladder Pattern - V-Bar Links - item # TC3835
Ladder Pattern - Twist Link - item # TC3235
The square link is by far the most heavy duty all around style that has built in cams for staying tight on your tires. You will find that the V-Bar is off-road rated along with on-road and really bites into the snow and ice... view full answer...
The 235/80-16 sizes tires are the closest size that we have to your 9.5-16.5 tires. Your current tires should have a diameter of 30.6" and the 235/80-16 tires measure 30.9" in diameter. When it comes to clearance with your trailer you will actually be reducing that by only 0.15" since diameter is from one end of the tire directly across to the other side of the tire.
If this works out for you then I recommend going with the Taskmaster Provider Radial Trailer Tire # TTWTRTM2358016E which... view full answer...
When your truck is unloaded the Timbren Suspension System part # TDF25004B that you referenced won't affect the ride height.
Timbren's Suspension Enhancement System will raise the front of the end of the vehicle when heavy equipment, such as a plow, is attached. Headlight beams will be pointed in the right direction and tire wear will be reduced.
It is hard to say exactly how much your suspension will sag with this kit installed. We had a customer come back and tell us that with their... view full answer...
Your tandem axle trailer's equalizers handle the task of evening out the load across the two axles.
I noted that in your photo the axles appear to have different tires installed on each. It is best to use identical tires on both axles, meaning same type (bias or radial), same weight load range and naturally, the same size. If the tires are not all the same some will tend to work harder and may develop more heat, which is a tire's worst enemy. The hotter tire, the tire that is carrying... view full answer...
While we can't order you in the axle you are needing we can help with the wheels and tires. For the weight capacity you are going to need our best option is a 215/75R17.5 wheel and tire like the part # TA95ZR which has a weight capacity of 4,805 lb per wheel/tire. This has a bolt pattern of 8 on 6-1/2 inch which would be the bolt pattern the drums you'd order would have but you might double check when you order the axle just to be sure.
Due to the spring seat dimensions you need and... view full answer...
The Reese Goose Box # RP85FR measures 17-3/4 inches from the center of the coupler to the center of the nearest row of bolt holes. I included a picture showing this. The replacement pin boxes are usually about the same or very near the length of the originals.
To use this Goose Box with the Lippert 1716 pin box you will need spacer kit # RP61301. view full answer...
All 15-inch trailer wheels in your 6-on-5-1/2 wheel bolt pattern are the size 15 x 6. These wheels, shown on the linked page, themselves have varying weight ratings, from 2600-lbs for the Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel # AM20514 to 2830-lbs for the Sendel aluminum wheel # AM22654.
The reason I mention this is that apart from your chosen tire capacity your wheels themselves may be overloaded. Our resident wheel and tire guru said that any given trailer wheel is more likely to withstand... view full answer...
The hitches we offer for the 2017 cargo and passenger vans include three sizes, 1-1/4, 2-inch and 2-1/2-inch. These hitches' towing weight ratings naturally vary quite a bit, from a low of 3500-lbs as with 1-1/4-inch Class II hitch # 36206 to a high of 16,000-lbs as with the 2-inch Curt Class V # C15320. Others fall in between.
For wiring and brake controller installation all you need is 4-pole harness # 118392 along with our brake controller install kit # ETBC7. These will work with or... view full answer...
Since your trailer's torsion axle is rated for 3500-lbs, and since a 4 x 8-foot trailer frame is unlikely to weigh more than a few hundred pounds, you should still be well within the axle capacity even when you have 2500-lbs of firewood loaded.
Since the trailer is homemade there is the question of the weight capacity for the frame itself. In any trailer, the actual weight rating depends on each of the component parts (frame, suspension, axle, wheels and tires) and the lowest-rated among... view full answer...
The extra-long 2-inch ball mount we offer, part # EA40 from Brophy, is 15-3/4-inches long and may give you the clearance you need at your dual rear-mounted spare tires to let you use a friction sway control unit like # 83660 on a bracket # RP26003. If you measure from the center of your hitch pin hole rearward 15-3/4-inches that point will be where the center of the hitch ball hole will be.
Do note however that this ball mount is rated for 6000-lbs gross trailer weight and 600-lbs tongue... view full answer...
You can install either the 6,000 lb system, # TFR250SDE, or the 8,600 lb system, # TFR350SDE, on your truck, but they will not increase the weight carrying capacity of your truck. You will still be limited to the weight capacity that Ford has set for your truck. These springs were designed to work with your factory suspension to help reduce sag and improve safety and handling when hauling heavy loads.
I would recommend installing the 6,000 lb springs because you are not gaining an advantage... view full answer...
